Hi Batty, ya don't need no stinkin' backup, you do pretty darn well on your own. At that same session (different night) a conga drummer figured the song I was singing needed only his drum, I had my own drum in hand & would've played it if I thought it would enhance the song, I'm not shy about it. I nearly put my hand on his drum but thought it would do more damage to him than he was doing to the song & so I let it pass. I always felt that the song was more important than both singer & backup & only if the backup lent more to the song should it be used. At a session I'm very lax about those views cause eveyone's there to play & sing with each other so I guess it's more a personnal call, hopefully. Here's how valued the voice is, break someone's hand or arm or shoulder or their instrument or just tie them up & you can get them to stop playing but to stop someone from singing you gotta break their damn neck.
